Queering our practice | Sex and Relational group Work

The worlds of psychotherapy and sex work have been siloed but we want to challenge and change this. We believe that sex workers and relationship/sex therapists not only have huge overlap in their work but would benefit from a professional space to share each other’s learning and experience. The Queer Therapist and Loxley Sexology have teamed up to create an inclusive group supervision service for queer sex and relationship practitioners.

Our supervisor Chris is a highly experienced GSRD (gender, sex, relationship diversity) therapist with an interest in working with gender diversity and neurodiversity in relationships. Our co-facilitator Bima is a Clinical Sexologist and Sex Educator who offers psychosexual and relationship therapy for individuals, couples and multiple partnered relationships, directing their passion towards GSRD folk.

  • Sex workers, doms, relationship therapists, sex coaches, clinical sexologists, sex educators and psychologists, counsellors and psychiatrists with a specialism in sex and relationships. If you’re unsure if you meet our criteria, just ask!

    This group will be a safe and judgement free space for all practitioners; embracing our diversity and learning from each other and our differing worlds. There will be zero tolerance of those who disagree with these values.

  • To enable the development of reflexive and professional skills through collaboration with other practicing professionals

    To enable practitioners to identify and find solutions to problems that clients bring

    To develop practitioner knowledge and competence in order to enable them to assume responsibility for their own safe and effective practice

    To build a safe and professional community of queer sex and relationship practitioners

    To build resources as a practitioner community

  • There are two different groups depending on the frequency of sessions you prefer:

    Option A: 1.5hrs of bi-monthly group | 8-12 members | Closed Group

    Option B: 1.5hrs of monthly group | 8-12 members | Closed Group

    Please note: groups are closed but will open to new members if the group number drops below 8.

Our approach to this group is integrative. This means we use different perspectives and theories to draw on when working with the group; we adapt our approach to suit the group's changing needs. The main therapeutic modalities we draw upon are psychosexual therapy, ACT, schema therapy, mindfulness-based CBT, narrative therapy, TA, human givens therapy, gestalt and somatic therapy. Our work is trauma-informed and is underpinned by intersectionality, queer theory and neuroqueer theory.
